New issue 23122 by [email protected]: Certificate view in Mac page info  
dialog sometimes shows incorrect status
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23122

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Navigate to an SSL site that uses a chained certificate (e.g.,
https://www.paypal.com
2. Bring up the View Page Info dialog
3. Click the View Certificate Information button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should see a dialog with "This certificate is valid"; instead it reads
"This certificate was signed by an unknown authority"

The problem appears to be the result of the certificate viewer not having
access to intermediate certificate authorities that server sent in the SSL
handshake. Since the certificate viewer can't trace the lineage back to a
trusted anchor, it comes up with a different trust result than the
networking layer, which has those intermediate certificates.
